Default differences in strength in micro limit games

Hi guys,

I've just started playing .50/$1 after working my way up from the 2/4c games and i was wondering if there was much difference in strength between any of the the micro limits levels, and at which level in particular the difference is really noticeable. For example, if i were to play at the $1/$2 , $2/$4 or $3/6 would it be much different from what i play now?

thanks,

Yes, Quite a difference. The sucky players usually suck the same way, but the better players are better, and will (generally) make you pay if you get out of line.

During my latest 20BB challenge, I would say that the biggest difference comes when moving from 25/50c to .5/1. But there will still be a difference moving up every level above and below that. And of course, that's just what I've noticed.

Each limit is different. Your success, and where you experience the greatest change in the game, is largely dependent on your style.

e.g. if you're over-aggro, you're going to get murdered by the 1/2 rock garden, but if you're weak-tight you'll get through it ok. But, if you're weak-tight, you're going to get murdered at 2/4, where players start paying attention.

There's also some differentiation among different sites.

Interesting. I am having way more trouble going from .5/1 to 1/2. Mostly psychological, since a 40 BB swing is 'real money'.

Why doesn't that make sense? You hit .5/1, competition is more difficult transition than it's been. Why shouldn't it be difficult to get past it?

Because I feel comfortable, and am doing well in 0.5/1, but when I move up, I feel uncomfortable, and turn back into a tight nit, easily bullied, unwilling to reraise flops w/ Ace hi flush draws etc...

Bankroll and winrate say move up, sphincter says keep playing 0.5/1.
